Neonatal short bowel syndrome

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1991
In this retrospective study the management of infants who had undergone resection of more than 50% of the small bowel as newborn infants between 1970 and 1988 was analyzed to define prognostic factors. Small bowel resections were performed for atresia (36 cases), volvulus (22 cases), gastroschisis (10 cases), necrotizing enterocolitis (11 cases), and ...

Postoperative Short Bowel Syndrome

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2005
Unanticipated massive resection after intraabdominal procedures is an increasing cause of short bowel syndrome (SBS). Our aim was to determine the frequency and potential mechanisms of postoperative SBS.We reviewed retrospectively the clinical course of 210 adult patients with SBS evaluated over a 20-year period.Fifty-two (25%) patients had ...

Nutrition in Short-Bowel Syndrome

Short-bowel syndrome is a state of severe malabsorption secondary to extensive bowel resection. The most common reasons for extensive bowel resection are Crohn's disease and mesenteric infarction. The pathophysiological consequences depend on extent and site of resection, integrity and adaptation of the remaining bowel, and secondary effects on other ...

Enhancing bowel adaptation in short bowel syndrome

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2002
Malabsorption of both nonessential and essential nutrients, fluid, and electrolytes will, if not compensated for by increased intake, lead to diminished body stores and to subclinical and eventually clinical deficiencies. By definition, intestinal failure prevails when parenteral support is necessary to maintain nutritional equilibrium.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2019
Short bowel syndrome / intestinal failure (SBS/IF) is a rare and debilitating disease process that mandates a multidisciplinary approach in its management. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in particular Crohn's disease (CD), predisposes patients to development of SBS/IF.

Short Bowel Syndrome in the Elderly

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, 2002
Background: The need for massive intestinal resection in the elderly presents an ethical dilemma. The mortality rate for elderly patients who undergo this procedure is high, and quality of life with the short bowel syndrome (SBS) in this group is often questioned.

Vanishing gastroschisis and short-bowel syndrome

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2000
Gastroschisis occurs in 1 of every 4000 live births resulting in a neonate with an abdominal wall defect that requires repair. Surgical correction has high survival rates.An 18-year-old primigravida had a fetus with gastroschisis detected by ultrasound performed for elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein.

Short bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease

Gastroenterology, 2003
Patients with Crohn's disease are at high risk for recurrent disease and often undergo multiple operations. Our aims were to evaluate surgical management and outcome of patients with Crohn's disease who develop short bowel syndrome (SBS) and to identify factors leading to this complication.

Treatment of short-bowel syndrome

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2001
The present article reviews the current literature on the role of diet and other trophic factors in the treatment of short-bowel syndrome. Results using glutamine, growth hormone and glucagon-like peptide 2 are reviewed. Although experimental animal data would suggest that various growth factors are of benefit in the treatment of short-bowel syndrome ...
